Blue Sky Journey

At Real Toads, today, the prompt by Ella of Ella's Edge is multi-faceted. Ella describes an art process, using a product called CitraSolv, that results in some stunning images, like the one above. We are to pick one and write to it. Ella also talks about Indian Spiritwalkers, those who walk with spirits to receive wisdom and guidance to take back and share with their people. This appealed to me very much, as did Ella's painting, entitled Big Sky Road.There goes Wild Woman,head tilted back, and grinningat the sky.She's listeningas the windward voices cry.She's trying to decodemessages in the clouds.She knowsthat there are spiritspassing by.She hears Wind Woman singingfrom the hills.At summer's end,the Westerly blows chill.She packs her heartwith memoriesand friends,writes love letters to the worldshe'll never need to send.It has been a Blue Sky Journeyhome, my friends.Sun and trees and sky-their beauty never ends.Spirit whispers to usin our sleep,makes promiseswe travel far to keep.Look up! Look up! Don't miss one moment more!There's a Sky-Showin the heavens passing by.Keep looking up;let's never ceaseour strivingto keep our visionbigger than the sky.
